PrintNighmare might have been resolved, but Microsoft’s printing woes continue unabated.
Microsoft’s July Patch Tuesday security release, which officially fixed the notorious PrintNightmare issue, has also adversely affected printing and scanning on some other devices in Windows 10, the company has admitted. «After installing updates released July 13, 2021 on domain controllers (DCs) in your environment, printers, scanners, and multifunction devices that are not compliant with section 3.2.1 of RFC 4556 spec might fail to print when using smart card (PIV) authentication,» shared Microsoft as it listed the issues that plague the latest Windows 10 release, version 21H1.
